<h4>Description</h4>
<p>The FatFs module requires only five device independent commands described below.</p>
<table class="lst">
<caption>Standard ioctl command used by FatFs</caption>
<tr><th>Command</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_SYNC</td><td>Makes sure that the device has finished pending write process. If the disk I/O layer or storage device has a write-back cache, the dirty cache data must be committed to media immediately. Nothing to do for this command if each write operation to the media is completed within the <tt>disk_write</tt> function.</td></tr>
<tr><td>GET_SECTOR_COUNT</td><td>Retrieves number of available sectors, the largest allowable LBA + 1, on the drive into the <tt>LBA_t</tt> variable pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. This command is used by <tt>f_mkfs</tt> and <tt>f_fdisk</tt> function to determine the size of volume/partition to be created. It is required when <tt>FF_USE_MKFS == 1</tt>.</td></tr>
<tr><td>GET_SECTOR_SIZE</td><td>Retrieves sector size, minimum data unit for generic read/write, into the <tt>WORD</tt> variable pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. Valid sector sizes are 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096. This command is required only if <tt>FF_MAX_SS &gt; FF_MIN_SS</tt>. When <tt>FF_MAX_SS == FF_MIN_SS</tt>, this command will be never used and the read/write function must work in <tt>FF_MAX_SS</tt> bytes/sector.</td></tr>
<tr><td>GET_BLOCK_SIZE</td><td>Retrieves <em>erase block size</em> of the flash memory media in unit of sector into the <tt>DWORD</tt> variable pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. The allowable value is 1 to 32768 in power of 2. Return 1 if the value is unknown or non flash memory media. This command is used by only <tt>f_mkfs</tt> function and it attempts to align data area on the erase block boundary. It is required when <tt>FF_USE_MKFS == 1</tt>.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_TRIM</td><td>Informs the device that the data on the block of sectors is no longer needed and it can be erased. The sector block is specified in an <tt>LBA_t</tt> array {&lt;Start LBA&gt;, &lt;End LBA&gt;} pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. This is an identical command to Trim of ATA device. Nothing to do for this command if this funcion is not supported or not a flash memory device. FatFs does not check the result code and the file function is not affected even if the sector block was not erased well. This command is called on remove a cluster chain and in the <tt>f_mkfs</tt> function. It is required when <tt>FF_USE_TRIM == 1</tt>.</td></tr>
</table>

<p>FatFs will never use any device dependent command nor user defined command. Following table shows an example of non-standard commands which may be useful for some applications.</p>
<table class="lst">
<caption>Example of optional ioctl command</caption>
<tr><th>Command</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_FORMAT</td><td>Creates a physical format on the media. If <tt class="arg">buff</tt> is not null, it is pointer to the call-back function for progress notification.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_POWER_IDLE</td><td>Puts the device idle state. <tt>STA_NOINIT</tt> in the current status flags may not be set if the device goes active state by generic read/write function.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_POWER_OFF</td><td>Puts the device off state. Shut-down the power to the device and deinitialize the device interface if needed. <tt>STA_NOINIT</tt> in the current status flags must be set. The device goes active state by <tt>disk_initialize</tt> function.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_LOCK</td><td>Locks media eject mechanism.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_UNLOCK</td><td>Unlocks media eject mechanism.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_EJECT</td><td>Ejects media cartridge. <tt>STA_NOINIT</tt> and <tt>STA_NODISK</tt> in status flag are set after the function succeeded.</td></tr>
<tr><td>CTRL_GET_SMART</td><td>Reads SMART information.</td></tr>
<tr><td>MMC_GET_TYPE</td><td>Gets card type. The type flags, bit0:MMCv3, bit1:SDv1, bit2:SDv2+ and bit3:LBA, is stored to a BYTE variable pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (MMC/SDC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>MMC_GET_CSD</td><td>Reads CSD register and sets it into a 16-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (MMC/SDC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>MMC_GET_CID</td><td>Reads CID register and sets it into a 16-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (MMC/SDC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>MMC_GET_OCR</td><td>Reads OCR register and sets it into a 4-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (MMC/SDC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>MMC_GET_SDSTAT</td><td>Reads SDSTATUS register and sets it into a 64-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (SDC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ATA_GET_REV</td><td>Reads the revision string and sets it into a 16-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (ATA/CFC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ATA_GET_MODEL</td><td>Reads the model string and sets it into a 40-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (ATA/CFC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ATA_GET_SN</td><td>Reads the serial number string and sets it into a 20-byte buffer pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (ATA/CFC specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ISDIO_READ</td><td>Reads a block of iSDIO registers specified by command structure pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (FlashAir specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ISDIO_WRITE</td><td>Writes a block of data to iSDIO registers specified by command structure pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (FlashAir specific command)</td></tr>
<tr><td>ISDIO_MRITE</td><td>Changes bits in an iSDIO register specified by command structure pointed by <tt class="arg">buff</tt>. (FlashAir specific command)</td></tr>
